I am sick since last week and I lost like 8lbs. I look like someone who survived Auschwitz even though I am 6'3 193 lbs now. I'm benching right now and I'm struggling hard even though I took off 10lbs from my usual sets. Feeling really demotivated.

Feel better bro. I'm worse than you, 6'4 185.

Thanks mane

I was 210 last month, cut to ~201, then I got sick.

wtf ur buff

The fact that you took off a week and lost 8 lbs means something is wrong. I think it's only possible to lose 8 lbs of water weight in a week.

Being unmotivated in the gym is mental. Get excited man...stop staring at your weight. Body-weight is meaningless along with the amount of weight you lift. The only person that cares about those 2 things is you. You're not in a strongman competition are you? Then who cares.

8lbs??

i recently came down with some nasty virus for 5 days and dropped a few pounds too, it sucks. tis the season i guess.

Been outta the gym for 3 weeks with a soft muscle tear only lost 2kg tho, better than being sick but I deffs got quite a bi of fat

Dehydration for the flu can cause a loss of 6-10 lbs of water weight which would also cause you to feel weaker than normal. You didn't lose much muscle in that time frame. So don't worry you'll get back to where you were in no time.

6'7 210 Auschwitz mode, I know the feels.
